Patch Notes for March 22, 2022

Shop Updates

To reduce the need to memorize which location sells which items, nearly all locations now have a Cheese Shoppe, Trapsmith, and General Store stocked with items that are relevant to the area's place in the game progression.

Updated Shop Inventory

• Weapons and Bases which were previously acquired through crafting are now sold at a Trapsmith for a matching material cost
• Purchasable blueprints for crafted trap components have been removed from General Stores and converted into a gold cost within their new Trapsmith listing
• Some trap recipes have been simplified in their new Trapsmith listing

• Material costs purchased with gold have been converted toward the trap's gold cost

• As most traps can now be directly purchased through Trapsmiths their crafting recipes have been set to "inactive" and will no longer appear in players' recipe books unless they had crafted the trap previously

• Inactive recipes can still be completed through the crafting table
• Inactive recipes are planned to be removed from the game entirely at a later date

• Most Weapons and Bases now have a max inventory limit of 1 to prevent accidental double purchases
